CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE wheat market was
more active and stronger to-day. The market
opened 5c higher. at 79ac for May delivery

ket advices Public cable advices quoted firm
markets with prices tending upward, and private
cables also came in quite strong The offerings
were free at the advance, but prices fell off to
70 79ac on the report of good export move
ment; rose to 79a q 79sc, and closed for ths day
at the outside figures. Receipts at eleven points
were only l73 QUO bu, while the clearings from
three Atlantic ports were 152, 600 bu It was
stated that the stocks of wheat in the interior
warehouses in the Northwest have been con-
siderably reduced. There were no new features
developed in corn. The market was moderately
active early. Towards the close there was a
firmer feeling. with fair purchases, and the
ket closed tote higher than yesterday. Oats
ruled steady and shade higher. The large
receipts of live hogs, accompanied with re-
ducton in prices, was the signal for large specu-
lative offerings in provisions, and the markets
ali ruled lower at the opening. Mess pork
opened zoe barrel lower, at $l4 % for May de-
livery, rose to $14 70. and dropped off to $1437l

Washing Dairy Utensila

Mrs. w. A. Clark, in Hoard's Dairyman.
In the first place have cloth on purpose to
wash milk cans, strainer and pails-a cloth that
is used for that solely and for nothing else. I
have another cloth that is used for washing the
outside of milk pals. The pail used for this
purpose is a clean wooden pail. 1t is not used
for anything cleaner than for that purpose, and
for nothing else SO dirty. After those pals
have been washed on the outside only, and
wiped dry, with that cloth, to leave trace of
dirt, Pe. clean water in a large dish-pan, pre-
pared without scam or flaw; not general

purpose. / commence with the straner
which is first rinsed inside with cold water,
to remove all straw or sediment that it
may have accumulated in the straining
process. / prefer cold water to rinse it, as
the hot water might steep or cook-as it were
Q taste from those particles / then proceed to
wash the strainer first and strainer cloth, which
cloth is a three-double one, made of cheese
cloth. Then take the milk cans that look so
innocent of filth that it seems pity to wash
them, and SO on down to the milk pals, all
washed ia hot water, Just hot enoueh to bear
the hands in, SO as to thoroughly wash them.
Then, when all are washed, / throw out that
water and wipe the pans dry, SO as to leave
nothing about it to faint the scadne of those

water, and by turning It around and around
until every spot is we'll rinsed and scalded, then

the cans are all well clsanssd. also scald my
strainer in the can, in clean separate water, and
put my strarer cloth on the stove. in basin, to
boil.
After the cans have been sufficiently iscalded
turn the water into a dish pan, and if many as
four cans have been scalded / believe the water
is not hot enough. particularly in winter. add
some more from the ea-kettle. Then Itake my
pals. one at time, and scald by turning them
over and over in the clean hot water, till all are
scalded, then they are turned top down TO drain
and air-in summer and winter outdoors; in
summer in the hot sun, in winter on a bench nn-

they are scalded.

NEW DEPARTURE.
/ Brooklyn pcn;ist Who Sells Teeth on the
Iu,tslment Plan.

Every thing is now sold on install.
ncn;s," sal I Brooklyn igstalmcnt dealer
% reporter. "Of course every body
SEows Jhdt furniture can be bought Oh in
stalmcnts, but was nos aware that one
could have his teeth flied On weekly or
moiShly payments While recently pass
ing a dentists Office in Il quiet street in the
eastern d,stric. | saw this sign: Teeth
iilled on iustalmoIts. Five dollars down,
the remainder in terms TO suit Cheapest
and best work aud easiest terms of credit
Being DESTROYS ot having tooth pulled
entered the Office of tho instalmeut
dentist. There found little wizen-faced
man, who, on learning my errand, lead me
20 q chair. In n few minutes my tooth was
extracted AMI was enabled
to talk with the instalment operator.
In the course of conversation he said
that he had many customers whom he had
treated and who paid him in weekly and
monthly payments. Business was good
and he had all he could DO. Did he ever
get cheateil But seldom, as heaEas al
ways sure that his customer had some
visible means of support.
"'Do You think that eventually every
thing will be sold on credit or install
mentsH was asked.
"'Yes. A difference exists between the
credit ana 1nStalment plans. When buy
ing on instruments one Is obliged to pay
just n little more than when he buys on
credit. some tradesmen don't give credit
unless they are sure that their customers
are good. Many instalment dealers, how
ever, don't even ask for references, and
ire satisfied IL they but know the adj
1ress of the customer 10 whom they sell
their goods. All goods sold on install
ments are subject, of course, to a chat
tel mortgage. The mortgage can be fore
closed without notice in case payments are
not promptly made. 1t is only in recent
years that mems and women's wearing
apparel has been sold on instruments.
Now one can purchase an entire outfit for
five or ten dollars down. The instalment
idea is a blessing to many young girls and
men who receive their wages weekly. Of
course, when one buys on instruments he
is sometimes little extravagant and pur.
chases much that he doesn't really need
Some working girls whom know would
aot be able to appear respectable were it
not that they could dress themselves on
the instaiment plan There is now so much
competition in the instalment business
that the cash and instalInent prices differ
